The Asian World Journal of Innovation in Agricultural Science and Technology (JIAST) is a fully open-access journal dedicated to providing unrestricted access to high-quality research in agricultural science and technology. Our open-access policy aligns with our mission to support knowledge dissemination and global access to research findings that advance agricultural innovation and sustainability.

Key Principles of Our Open Access Policy

1. Free and Unrestricted Access
   All articles published in JIAST are freely accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world, immediately upon publication. This enables researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and the public to access and benefit from the research without subscription or paywalls.
2. Licensing and Copyright
   JIAST publishes articles under the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0). This license permits users to share, copy, redistribute, and adapt the work, provided the original authors and source are properly cited. This flexible licensing approach encourages the wide dissemination and reuse of research while protecting authors’ rights.
3. Author Retains Copyright
   Authors retain full copyright over their work and grant JIAST the right to publish and distribute it. This ensures that authors maintain control over their intellectual property while benefiting from the journal’s open-access distribution.
4. No Access or Subscription Fees
   As an open-access journal, JIAST does not charge readers or institutions any fees for accessing articles. This supports equitable access to scientific knowledge and removes financial barriers that may prevent researchers and practitioners from engaging with cutting-edge research.
5. Global Reach and Impact
   By adopting an open-access model, JIAST ensures that published research reaches a broad, international audience, increasing its visibility, citation potential, and impact within the scientific and agricultural communities.
